Spent the weekend under the truck replacing and checking stuff :D

Besides the rear diff head being full of broken bits of weld and loose spiders, dodgy looking wheel bearings, and two very worn suspension joints, I'm all good to go!!!!

I think i might head down there friday afterwork and camp at the Forestry HQ, then saturday go in as far as i can with the trailer and unload some where close to the base camp. Trying to conserve LPG, and its a long trek in from the HQ.

What are the rest of you guys planning to do??

If no one else is trailering their trucks down, i will just head straight in on Sat morning, as it will be a slow trip. Otherwise i will have a sleep in and wait for y'all :D

I'm busting to try some of the new tracks, and some of the others that were new last time i was down there!!!!

I'm towing the Lada down with the G on Sat morning so will probably go straight there. Not sure what time yet. What time is everyone else planning on arriving?

Well, if Al comes down friday, we'l probably just head in when we get up and sorted.

It'l be a slow trip for me with a big tandem trailer.

Just show up when you show up. Channel 10 on the PRS, Ngaroma is good like that, your never to far from access road, which makes it easy to pick what you want to do.

Get some quality time done on it, then roll out for BBQ later on when you've had enough wiring and spanner swinging, its just down the road from Yo's work shop isn't :D

I reckon we will probably kick things off at about 10am ish sat morning ???

Awesome, cheers for the heads up, i would have gone looking in the old camp place :lol:

How long since the grass seed was sown on the camping area?? Its been a month or so hasn't it, so with the weather, there is a possibility we might be able to use that. Really don't want to damage area before the grass gets a chance to take off!!!!
